Link: http://no11pimlicoroad.co.uk Address: No. 11 Pimlico Road Nearest Tube: Victoria Station (walk towards Victoria Coach Station) Food Rating: 3.5 out of 5 Quite a cosy brunch place, which is a walking distance from Victoria Station (Not Pimlico!).  The Food was not spectacular... but it was pleasantly nice and affordable. They have nice cocktails as well, which may be good for evenings!

Canal Walk - Little Venice to Edge Ware Station

Image
I decided to have a little bit of "ME" time today and ended up doing a bit of the canal walk.   I started off at Little Venice (get off at Warwick Avenue Tube Stop - Bakerloo line) and walk along the canal all the way to St. Mary's Hospital (near EdgeWare Station).   I was pleasantly surprised that it was such a nice walk along the canal.  I should have done more of this before.....  Here's the route: View from the Paddington Basin Little Venice

Duck and Waffle

Website:  https://duckandwaffle.com/ Address:  110 Bishopsgate, Heron Tower, 110 Bishopsgate, London EC2N 4AY, United Kingdom Brunch Review: Just beside Paddington station.  Has a great view. Food is good  but pricey and nothing spectacular.  We had duck and waffles of course - the duck confit was a good one but was not really "for the table" kind of meal but just for one person.  The colombian eggs was great, love the taste but after adding salmon, costed around 15 which was way to much.  The braised pig's cheek was interesting and packed in an interesting paper bag with that red wax stamp. Overall,  not a great day-to-day brunch place but great for bringing visitors over because of the view.  Need to book early though as it seems to be very popular! Late Night Review: I went back July 18, 2016 and went like 1.30 AM (yes, really late) and tried again their Duck and Waffle.  It tasted much better than what I remember...
